It Takes A Woman

It takes a dreamer to get this far from my hometown
A real believer to look up when things are down
It takes a fool to let a good life fall apart
But when a man knows somethings missing in his heart

It takes a woman

It takes forever to get beyond the bitter years
And if I ever, I ever get that far from here
I can look back and say that I survived
But for a man to really make it in this life

It takes a woman

You can gain the world or lose your soul
But if you don't have someone to hold
You can't feel the victory for defeat
Climb higher than you've ever gone
When you reach the top, you're still alone
Flying high don't make a man complete

It takes a woman
Oh, it takes a woman

You can gain the world or lose your soul
But if you don't have someone to hold
You can't feel the victory for defeat
Climb higher than you've ever gone
When you reach the top, you're still alone
Flying high don't make a man complete

Any fool can let a good life fall apart
And foolish pride can't fill an empty heart

It takes a woman
It takes a woman
It takes a woman
